A google search revealed the following:
What are little boys made of (http://www.rhymes.org.uk/what_are_little_boys_made_of.htm)

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!"

Thanks so much for your help on What are little boys made of?
Still would like to know the author.
I have another verse on I can't, but still looking for the complete version


I can't is a coward too lazy to work.
xxxxxxxxxxfrom all duty he shirks.

I can't is a sluggard too lazy to try.
Too lazy to live and too lazy to die.

Hi Malu: This one's from The Common Room"Poems for Boys" by William Allen Butler.

Sounds like pretty moralistic stuff though; and weak poetry.

Do you need it for a project?
